On Thursday, Aquino became the talk of the town after wearing a cleavage-baring dress, which she credited to designer Cary Santiago.

Filipinos took to Twitter to comment on Aquino's bold fashion choice.

Several netizens called the gown "daring," while others joked that her outfit deserved an "award" of its own. Most of the "tweets" were posted with the hashtag "MMFFAwardsNight," which became among the top local trending topics on Thursday night.

At the awarding ceremony, the family drama "One More Try" was named Best Picture. The Emilio Aguinaldo biopic "El Presidente" was awarded 2nd Best Picture, while Aquino's "Sisterakas" took home the 3rd Best Picture award.
